Time passed by…Finally, my sentence of a year and half was up.I stood at the entrance of the jail with wounds and scars all over my body. The strong rays of sunlight shone on me, making me feel a little pain at the same time making me feel more alive."Reed, welcome back."As I looked up and felt the warmth and the freedom, I heard a warm and familiar voice.It was Haick.We hadn't seen each other for more than a year. He was wearing a light colored suit, which made him look more mature and handsome. But for me, a year and a half's cruel life in prison had made me skinny. My hair was sallow and my skin was dry and devoid of elasticity.Standing next to him, I dulled in comparison.Haick didn't treat me differently because of the change in my appearance. He gently opened the door of the co driver's seat for me.On the way, Haick kept apologizing.He said that in the past one and a half years, he had not been doing well. He had been blaming himself for failing to help me.I looked a

I hid behind a pillar and heard someone coming out of the hotel to flatter him.Based on their conversation, I roughly knew that this hotel belonged to the Mitaka Group."Ding! Ding! Ding!..." As I hid behind the pillar and waited for them to leave first, my cell phone rang.It was Blue's call.I dared not to pick up as I rushed into the hall as soon as Dave was long gone.As soon as I entered the hall,I found Blue. She looked me up and down as if examining me. After confirming that I was Reed, she began to arrange some work for me.At a glance, I knew that Blue was use to being bossy. As I was assigned to be her assistant, she rather treated me as if I were her servant.In addition to getting the documents and examining the project, I even needed to do a lot of chores for her including buying water and throwing away her trash.Although what I was asked to do might be beyond what an assistant was supposed to do, I found that I was having a more blessed life than that I had enjoyed wh

I looked at him and told him everything about my pregnancy, before I was imprisoned and the fact that my baby was aborted.In the end, I added, "I went to the hospital for a check up not long ago. According to the doctor, my uterus was damaged and I won't be pregnant again for the rest of my life."I lied to him, saying that I could never get pregnant. After all, Haick was so good that I didn't deserve him.I knew men wanted to have children of their own. So, Haick surely would mind this.At this time, I saw the hesitation in Haick's eyes.What I had least expected was for him to hug me suddenly, "Reed, it turns out that you have suffered so much in prison. I'm sorry. It's my fault that I could't help you with the lawsuit. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry.. And I promise to protect you this time around."I was stunned in his arms."Haick, I said I can't have a baby.""If you can't, let it be. I don't mind."Haick's behavior was completely beyond my expectation.I broke free from his em

I struggled desperately but I couldn't move at all.When I heard the sound indicating that his belt fell to the ground along with his pants, I thought that I would have no way out today....Crack! A crisp sound of unlocking came from the door.It was a very low and crisp sound but in my ears, it sounded like a saviour!Bernard seemed to be stunned as well. He slowed down and said unhappily, "Didn't I f**king tell you all to leave? No one should come in here!"I took this chance, moved my head away from the water and shouted, "Help! Cough! Cough! Help!"I heard the door open. Although I couldn't see who it was, I could feel Bernard's hand which was holding my hands, was shaking. Then I heard his flattering voice, "Mr. Mitaka, why, why are you here at this time?"'Mr. Mitaka.'Based on this name, I could only think of one person in mind."Let go of her." I heard the order coming from behind.Bernard immediately let go of me.After that, he ordered again, "Get out!""Yes, yes." Bernard

When the manager heard that I was such a person, he immediately said, "Mr. Mitaka, I am contacting the staff of Haick Design now. We will call off the project partnership as soon as possible."Haick Design was Haick's company."No!" I stepped forward and stood in front of the manager.Although I hated it and I wasn't willing to, I still said, "I will resign! I will resign! Are you satisfied?"I knew what Dave wanted. Dave wants to see my life ruined with no way out. I couldn't let Haick be put in a difficult position because of me.Dave looked at her and didn't say anything.I stood there, made a call to Haick, and said helplessly, "Mr. Grimm, I resign." After that, I hung up the phone before Haick could ask me anything.I put my cell phone into my pocket and bowed to Dave, "Mr. Mitaka, I've already resigned from Haick Design. Now, I have nothing to do with this company as well as this project. There's no need to vent your hatred for me on others."After that, I turned back and left.

That night, Haick asked me to stay for another night.The next day, I was full of energy so I follwed Haick to the company.As soon as we got into the lobby, the receptionist ran over, "Mr. Grimm, Mr. Mitaka arrived early..."I turned my head and happened to see Dave in a dark suit through the glass wall of the reception room. He got up from the couch and walked straight towards us.When he saw me standing side by side with Haick, his black eyes were full of contempt. He slightly opened his thin lips and said, "Reed Defiant, although you have been re educated in prison for a year and half, you haven't got rid of your bad habit of being cheap for the sake of money."As soon as he finished his words, his statements made the colleagues around me lament instantly."Don't talk nonsense!" I panicked. Moreover, I didn't understand why a person like Dave Mitaka would condescend to come to a small company like ours.While I was at a loss, I felt my shoulders warm. Then, I heard Haick say, "I

Along the way, I scolded Dave as viciously as I could but he seemed indifferent.When the car stopped again, Dave lowered the window and looked out of the window, saying"Look! Where are we?"I turned my head and looked out the window. It took me quite a while to realize where we were. In an instant, my face paled.It was unknown when the car had arrived at an orphanage. However, the orphanage was different from what I remembered. I use to spent most of my time here with the kids when I was in college.This was my bonding place. I knew what it felt like to be unwanted. My family treated me like trash so I usually came here to find peace and comfort.If it weren't for the sign written at the gate, I wouldn't have believed that the building in front of me was the orphanage where I had been visiting.At this time, Dave had already gotten out of the car and said to me, "Let's go in and have a look."When I followed him into the orphanage, the old dean had already come out to welcome him

At dinner, Jamin urged us over and over again, saying we should bear him a fat grandson as soon as we could.I agreed with a faint smile but I knew it would never happen.After we came out of the Mitaka Family house, I was just about to get in the car when I noticed that the tassel of the small cloak was hooked onto the covered button of Dave's belt.I wore a low cut evening dress. I hadn't taken off the cloak over at dinner but, the tassel was hooked on Dave's belt. We sat in the car and I knew if I leaned over to untie it, I would have to make an ambiguous posture. Helplessly, I had no choice but to take off my cloak. After all, I couldn't ask Dave to take off his belt."Lemme take this off." I said as I tried to untie the tassel.Although I said so, it seemed that the more anxious I was, the tighter the tassel got entangled.The cloak was very expensive and I didn't dare to cut the tassel off. While I was sweating all over my head, I saw Dave press on the belt with his big palm.

Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there seemed to be no hair under

Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe

I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe

Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as

Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e

In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would

Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech

Eunice lowered her head and kept silent, as if she was thinking.I didn't say anything more. I took the cup of fruit tea in front of me and took a sip.It was sour and sweet.When I put down the teacup, Eunice said, "Though I want to help you, it's just that his heart is no longer with me. He probably doesn't care about whether I live or die.""It's not like that." I looked at Eunice and said firmly, "Oogway has you in his heart, but he doesn't realize it, or... he is deceiving himself. What he needs is a process to know his heart."Eunice slightly nodded. "But that doesn't mean that he will give in to me.""I know." I smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry. In fact, I have already told him about your illness. I hope he can see his heart clearly. I have no choice."Eunice looked at me without saying a word.There was only silence.I said again, "I'm sorry." Eunice finally looked up at me and smiled. "If he let you go because of me and come back to me, then I am willing to be used by you."Euni

After hearing the name clearly, Oogway's eyes immediately showed some indifference. He folded his legs, put his hands on his knees, looked at me, and said in a very alienated voice, "So what?"I was not beaten back by his state. I continued, "Eunice got uterus cancer."When I said those words, Oogway frowned slightly.Then, I added another two words, "Stage 2."Oogway's expression obviously relaxed a little but he said only one word, "Oh."Seeing that he was relaxed, I hurriedly continued, "But when I saw her today, her assistant told me that she was not willing to be treated, because once treated she might not be able to conceive. She has always held the hope of getting pregnant.""That's her business."Unwilling to let it go, I continued, "Then have you ever thought about the fact that for an excellent woman like Miss Eunice, there must be a lot of men who wanted to be with her, even with her legs were disabled. But has been single all these years?""That's her business."Oogway sa
